Treadmill Speed Work
Not that I
have completely changed my mind about hating treadmills, but I have found a
workout that is perfect for the treadmill.

This workout
is on my schedule courtesy of Coach Greg.
The paces I
am showing are for me (because I don’t know you and don’t know how fast you
run)…

So you start
out with a warm up for ten minutes at a 10:00 pace (that’s 6.0 on the
treadmill). Speed up to 8:13 pace
(that’s about 7.3 on the treadmill) for twenty minutes and keep rotating until
you are done. This is great speed work
and is perfect for those crazy hot days that you just cannot get it together to
go outside and run fast.
There is a
variation of this work out that I did yesterday:

The thirty
minutes in the middle was tough, but manageable. If you
have been running in the heat at all, this workout is going to feel even
better. You will get to see just how
much faster you can run inside where it’s nice and cool (unless your air
conditioning is broken or your treadmill is outside – then it’s going to
suck).
